Rushden Research Group: The Manor Estate

From the brochure

The Manor Estate

This Estate, which is conveniently situated within easy reach of the centre of the town, has a frontage to Wymington Road and stretches to Rose Avenue & Park Avenue with a total area of 130 acres and upwards. The whole Estate surrounds the grounds of the Rushden Hall and is being thoughtfully and carefully developed by the 'Fleet Construction Company Ltd.'

Monotony has been avoided by the introduction of several types of bungalows and houses which are now nearing completion in Rose Avenue, Upper Pak Avenue and Church Hall Road. The Elevations of these various types have also been varied and the roofs covered with tiles of different pattern and colour.

The Prices of these properties range from £450 Freehold or may be purchased by a Deposit of from £20 and the balance repaid by weekly instalments from 10/1d.

IF YOU ARE NOT YET PREPARED TO PURCHASE, Properties or Sites can be secured for the future on the payment of ONE POUND, and arrangements made to suit the individual requirements in respect of the remainder of the deposit, which may be paid for example by weekly instalments up to the time of occupation.
